Abstract

Isolated monoclonal antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof are provided that specifically bind to an epitope within the serine protease domain of human MASP-2. In some embodiments, the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof inhibit lectin pathway complement activation. Also provided are polynucleotides encoding the disclosed monoclonal antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, and cloning vectors or expression cassettes comprising such polynucleotides. Further provided are methods of inhibiting lectin pathway complement activation and methods of treating lectin pathway diseases and disorders.
